Feeling extra special that I get to live in the state that made the succulent popular (LOL!)

Living in the desert… you either love it or you hate it.

I choose to love it 🙂 I think it’s so beautiful. The mountains, the cacti, the flatland, the yellow fields… I love it all! I didn’t really start realizing the beauty of it until I became a photographer and was forced to pay attention to my surroundings better.

Some people think the desert looks dead, but I feel like you just have to look at it from a different perspective. Yes, the summers are hard to live through and they really are unbearably hot. But, the desert is also so unique and different than any other type of landscape.

This succulent-themed styled wedding at the Gather Estate was perfect for my little photographer heart!
